Lightning-strike tests of a helicopter at Eurocopter's Donauworthfacility have verified the accuracy of finite-element analysis techniques forcharacterizing the electromagnetic behavior of complete ...

Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...

Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are ...

Every year I spend the holidays with my mother in Wisconsin. Each time I’m there, I look outside her living room window and see the lightning protection rod on the roof of the house across the street.

Most boats and ships usually ride out a thunderstorm and the high winds, tornados, hail, and floods it can produce. But the ESD event called lightning that it creates is a very different situation.

Advancements in power TVS diodes have made them an effective alternative to metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in protecting AC and DC power supplies from power line surges and indirect lightning strikes.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) scientists supported by General Electric (GE) and LM Wind Power (a subsidiary of GE) recently reported on a breakthrough in lightning protection technology ...
